Vote for your favourite play

English Touring Theatre celebrates its 21st year in 2014 and to mark the occasion the company is asking the nation for its favourite play.

Audiences are being invited to vote throughout autumn for the play of their choice via a specially designed website www.myfavouriteplay.com

The rules are simple. You may vote for any original, English language play from any period of time. Musicals, translations or adaptations will not be counted in the voting. Any member of the public will be able to vote online but will only be able to vote once for their favourite play.

Audiences will be able to vote until Sunday 8 December 2013. English Touring Theatre will then announce the nation’s favourite play along with a short list of plays that received the most votes and where people voted across the country. The company will then incorporate as many of the favourites as possible into its 2014 touring schedule as either fully produced productions or public rehearsed readings.

English Touring Theatre’s director Rachel Tackley said, “We want to make 2014 a birthday year to remember. Since the company has made its name taking high quality productions to theatres across the country we felt the country had to be at the heart of our celebrations. It’s a surprisingly simple yet tricky question: What is your favourite play? We’re very excited and curious to see what the nation votes for.”
